Contest ALERT - THREE Winners chosen. Thanks to all who entered.

Ok,

I've been mulling over another contest. But it isn't going to be post count.
Well, maybe it is.

Tell you what. This contest will have TWO (2) WINNERS!

Here is how it is going to go.......
There are 2 pieces to this contest (hence, 2 winners). You can only win once. If you win both, I give you your choice and then the "runner-up to the 2nd portion" gets the 2nd prize.

Part 1: Give the DAY and TIME, on ebay day/time, when I get my 100th feedback rating. I am at 94 right now. I don't know how soon it will be....could be months...could be days. I honestly don't know.
Part 2: Give the DAY and TIME, on CU day/time, when I get my 3000th post. I am a few hundred away. Again, I don't know how soon it will be....I post sporadically in batches...some days, I feel the need to post, other days....nahhhhhh image

Each person posting a guess is allowed 1 guess per part of the contest (hence someone posting for the ebay feedback part can post a separate post for the CU part, or post in same post, but CANNOT post more than once for either one). To do so will disqualify your post (which would suck, for you, if you would have won with your first post, right? image

NO editing of posts....wouldn't be fair. I believe in fairness!

Now, what are the prizes? Good question! I don't know yet.
I still have time to figure it out.
Maybe it will be a (PCGS/NGC) slabbed lincoln from the 60's....
Maybe it will be some UNC, raw, Kennedys from a mint bag....
Maybe it will be things that become apparent on the winner (ie....an established collector may not want/need the UNC kennedys but a new person, or YN, may like them.
Maybe it will be some raw IKEs.....
Maybe it will be something I pick up on ebay or a coin show in the meantime.....
I really don't know.

The other rule is that I reserve the right to correct the contest if it appears some sneaky person is working the system in a way I didn't realize at this time of night/morning. image
(unlikely that I will, but, my contest, my rules image

So, get to guessing.


Oh yeah.....I doubt I will TTT more than once a day, or once every few days when I think about it, but ya'all are welcome to.


Edit #1 - I will allow a FOLLOW-UP post (not an EDITED post) if your original post was incomplete.....when you make a guess, unless you say otherwise, I will ASSUME that your guess is for the ebay feedback first, then, if there is a 2nd guess, it is for the post count portion. Example: Lonelyp, you have guessed 1 day/time. You have stated whether it is for part 1 or part 2. If you don't have a follow-up post, I will assume it is for the ebay feedback guess.
This is the type of post/guess i will allow a follow-up post for.

Edit #2 - I have decided that ONE of the prices will be a 2005 UNC Silver American Eagle from the roll I got earlier this year....still not sure on the other prize yet

Edit #3 - It is looking like the other prize may be a PR or MS PCGS slabbed coin from my birthyear (just not the one that Clackamas just made...that one is OUT of this ballpark image)
Also, depending on how I feel....I may have a 3rd prize that would be random.....depends on how many people are in to win or what tickles my fancy image

Edit #4 - Hmmmm....I may decide the 3rd prize to be a bank wrapped roll of the new Buff nickels...it would be H-H though, but guaranteed to be the Buffs. Or, if no 3rd prize (which would be based on either coolness of post, coolness of icon, or whatever else floats my boat (last time, I let my son pic it out and it was based on coolest icon/sig pic that he liked)). Anyone like the idea of a roll of these nickels being a prize or think I shouldn't do that?

Edit #5 - Finally got a few buys...taken 2 months since the contest started.....so, I will negate all previous guesses if people want and allow ONE NEW GUESS per person who already guessed prior (and, a guess anyway for those that haven't...but only 1 guess per person). Also, to make it fair, previous winner not eligible.

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
